Jesus Christ was the most divided Man to ever walk the face of the earth. He Himself claimed, “I came not to bring peace, but a sword.” Those who refuse to expose error and simply overlook it, are not following the biblical admontion to love. The prophets of old were persecuted, John the Baptist was beheaded, and most of the disciples gave their lives for Christ. Why? Because they were divisive! Biblical Christianity is confrontational and offensive! Most are not preaching it!

Jesus’ ministry also had a strong opposition to the denominational divisions of the time- man’s ‘churchanity’ being more important than his relationship with God. A good freeper once said: “A living, breathing relationship with the risen Christ that cannot be found in creed, religion, catechism, or baptism.”

That church you linked to seem to be all about ‘creed, religion, catechism, and baptism’ and not at all about a living, breathing relationship with Christ. It has one mention of salvation on its site that I could find, an even that mention buried the relationship with Christ below a specific type of baptism they believe you must have to be saved.

I find it too often that those whose mission is to expose error with other denominations do so at the sacrifice of promoting the relationship with Christ. They have the Pharisee’s error that Christ railed against, sacrificing the relationship with God with the legality of paper.

evang: Jesus Christ was the most divided Man to ever walk the face of the earth.

More words of wisdom from sola KJVa!

Next they'll say that his divine and human natures were separate entities or that Jesus was adopted! What a wacky system!
